`SomewhatBiggerNumbersThanYours` - aka Arbitrary Precision Math

Arbitrary Precision Math has three ingredients: it must be arbitrary, it must be precise, and is must have math in it. It is that simple, trust me! So obviously I was tempted for about half a microsecond or two to use libraries like GMP - but it turns out that had not returned all my books previously and the overtime fee would have exceeded my meager budget. Therefor, I had to write my own Arbitrary Precision Math class. Being a humble genius I wrote this class. Like its evil twin, the NoSQL Database, Arbitrary Precision Math is based on Permutation and ultimately on the principles in AdvancedScience.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "AdvancedScience.h"
#import "Permutation.h"

@interface SomewhatBiggerNumbersThanYours : Permutation

+ (id) somewhatBiggerNumberThanYoursWithClassType:(id) classType at_fixpoint:(id) p;

@end

One of the lesser known secrets of Arbitary Precision Math is that its self-sustaining idempocy comes with repeated paper-jams.
